“Now that the upgrade is complete, the new cages comply with the federation’s standards, meaning AC Robertson Field will be the premier athletics track in the Eastern suburbs.

President of the Ringwood Athletics Club, Charles Hogarth, said that the field is home to the Ringwood Athletics Club and the Ringwood Little Athletics Centre, and is also open to anyone in the community to use and can cater for a number of different sporting disciplines.

“We’re all looking forward to now being able to use the new throwing cages – we can’t thank Michael enough for his efforts in lobbying the Council to get this project over the line and for stumping up the remainder of the funding.”
